ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: Letters truly come to life with a touch of color. But color doesn’t always have to shout. Sometimes a soft whisper is enough to bring depth and interest to your lettering.
In this hands-on class, I’ll walk you through how I use color as a thoughtful companion to letterforms, mood, and meaning. We’ll explore drawing and painting tools, and I’ll share my favorite go-to methods (some surprisingly simple) for adding color in ways that enhance your letter.
You don’t need to be a color wizard to enjoy this class – just curious and ready to play. Whether you’re a total beginner or a fellow letter nerd, you’ll pick up new ideas, clever tricks, and maybe even a joyful “aha!” moment.
All levels welcome. Recording will be available for three months.
ABOUT MARIE: Marie Fredriksson is a calligrapher based in southern Sweden, with a passion for calligraphy that started in her early teens. During the pandemic, Marie expanded her formal calligraphy skills by attending a variety of online classes focusing on letter drawing. This marked a pivotal shift in her artistic approach, transitioning from traditional calligraphy with nibs and ink to exploring drawn letterforms using pencils and other drawing tools. Her work spans from minimalistic pencil work to colorful and inventive lettering. She cites Jurgen Vercaemst, Yukimi Annand, Yves Leterme and Elmo van Slingerland as her most significant influences.
